you can buy it yourself, its an over the counter drug. what also might help you instead of midol is a cup of coffee and some asprin. (midol has caffiene in it)

No these are not things you need midol for. You need to use 400-600mg of Ibuprofen for this 3 times a day or take 2 naproxen 3 times a day. Why would you buy a product that has stuff in it that you don't need. As for getting dizzy that needs to be checked out at the docs office as that is not normal and most likely not related to your period. The mood swings have nothing much you can try except birth control pills. Also stomach aches are something else you should discuss with your doctor. Ask your mom to make an appointment with your doctor to get all of this checked out and discussed with your MD.

Midol really is just a otc pain reliever with some extra stuff thrown in to help with the symptoms of PMS. Just ask your mom...it's not like you're asking for something outlandish. If she won't get it for you make the trek to the store and buys ome yourself. just hide it from it her.

Midol does help to release the pain. It's work very well for me as long staying away the ceffiene and sugar. It will help lot to release the pain.

Try asking your mother.. if she says no buy it yourself.. its over the counter and not hard to get. Also trying taking things you have at your house for a headache it may help and bit. But I am sure your mother will understand and allow you to have it, i am sure she dosent want you going throught pain.

Have you tried asking? If that doesn't work become a super witch and make everyone's life miserable in your house, eventually she'll buy it. However, if you just talk to her and explain your situation to her she'll probably buy it for you anyway.

Talk to your mom. Why don't you think she'll get some for you?
Talk to her about talking to a doctor and have the doctor tell her to get you some painkillers.

Take Advil. It is pretty much the same thing.
